@Vapi_AI We did a live demo recently successfully with a 300+ audience by having them all call a Vapi phone number with their mobile phone. It went well!
I made my first cold call to a "RUDE" AI prospect this week ❄ 📲
It was RIDICULOUSLY realistic. Here is what happened...
*****
Cold calling is intimidating when:
- You enter your sales career
- Move company
- Start selling to a new market
- Are trying a different approach
Point is, cold calling is hard.
@HyperboundAI let's you cold call AI buyers to practice what works.
As soon as cold calls stop feeling personal and feel more like a science, you stop taking the hits and hang ups so personally.
So here it is.
One of my first ever calls with an AI buyer.
Aim:
Book a meeting
What am I selling:
A mini-site builder (if you are selling enterprise and don't use one of these, you probably should consider it).
The are used by AE's to move enterprise deals down the funnel and deliver a great buyer experience (no buying process should be just a lump of email attachments because they will never be seen by all relevant stakeholders).
Examples of such companies are Loxo and trumpet 🎺
Why didn't I sell them BibliU?
None of the prospect personas in Hyberbound fit the ICP for BibliU. I therefore pitched a product where I have purchased from a vendor because I know why people buy it.
It wasn't a great start but we puzzled it out.
The outcome:
I booked a meeting with a buyer that has a 15.2% booking rate!!! Hooray.
Jane (ai prospect), I look forward to the follow up call.
Here's a challenge to any sales rep that sees this:
Try to book a meeting with one of these people below.
The catch?
They aren't real people. They are AI Bots.
I've been lucky enough to advise @sguduguntla11 and @AtulRaghunathan from MVP to a full product at @HyperboundAI.
